Recess more often in high school? There was no recess past the 6th grade for us.

Originally posted by gambit3There are studies showing taking breaks from learning increases the amount of stuff you remember so I would go for several ten minute breaks a day plus lunch rather than one long break.
To me recess is a time away from school activities. It is the same as "breaktime" at work. Physical education, athletics, and band, ect. are school activities.
